I had made a very silly youtube video. I was kinda embarrassed about it, so I wanted to show it to someone who were as obsessed with Buffy as I am. The BB boards are very easy to find. Initially, I was completely overwhelmed by amount of sensory input. There are a lot of subforums and they all have funny names The people here are really nice, so I decided to hang around. Pricey and MetDa were quick to reach out and bring me into the fold.

It was a slow process for me. My English weren't so good the first times I saw it and a lot gets lost in translation. After my English got better, I found there was a rythm to the way the characters spoke that really got me hooked. After that, I discovered more and more things I liked about it. Seriously, it is literally the perfect show for me.

I never get sick. Up until this autumn, I wouldn't have had time. If I feel a little under the weather, I take a pill and everything is fine. "Is there a way to find a cure for this implanted in a pill? It is the name upon the bottle which determines if it will." There are a lot of movies I like. Big Fish is one.

Ha! Willow never leaves me I don't know, I have some lovely friends that I love very dearly. That being said, I have probably been a more loyal BtVS fan over the years than a good friend to my friends. If Willow was real, I would work very hard to make her the bestest of my friends. Does that answer the question?

There have been a lot of people over the years whom I have called my best friend. The most recent one is perhaps the one I love the most of all. She belongs to one of the most infamous independent Christian communities in northern Scandinavia. She is extraordinarily passionate to the point being obsessive. She is eerily intuitive and reads me like an open book. Her sardonic humour will crush you. She is drop dead gorgeous. I haven't seen her in over a year, but she is still the person I reach out to whenever I need it. Loveliest human being in the whole world. Maybe better than Will.

Dogs. I love dogs. A little bit allergic, but I love them. I have been nagging for my brother to get a schäferhund, but his life is really busy. He says he will get a dog when he gets kids. I tell him I will babysit ... the dog, not the kid

Yes, I do, and I have. Travelling always makes me happy. I have never been on holiday by myself, but I had to explore the world on my own sometimes for various reasons. When I go to the US in January, I will be going all on me lonesome.

The saddest thing about me is that I don't cry I blame my upbringing. I think I have gotten more in touch with my emotions though, and I have always had a romantic bent. Let me think... I have mostly been reading these stupid science fiction books this semester and before that, I wrote my thesis on Zadie Smith. That is not exactly tear jerking material.

Miranda July really comes through to me on a human level. "It Was Romance" and "Mon Plasir" from the collection No One Belong Her More Than You are really sweet stories. Nine Lives by Ursula LeGuin is really sad, if you love sci fi. Pierre is Herman Melville's most underrated work, IMO. It is crazy stuff, but his ramblings can hit you where you live sometimes.

Most of the stuff I read is quite "cold", so I often go to BtVS for my emotional fix

This little nut I like to think of her as bisexual. Willow struggled with her sexuality long before she began looking at girls. Thinking of her as exclusively lesbian kinda ruins New Moon Rising for me. Sexuality is not a stable thing. Gay (1999-present) is a bit silly, but she could come to find that she was happier being with women. The textual evidence is all over the place.

Have you ever had a reoccurring dream or nightmare?

I used to often dream about waiting for something really amazing to happen, but it never happens, so I become frustrated and impatient. Sometimes I dream about going to concerts or reuniting with old friends. They say that you lose your ability for language when you dream, but I can sometimes remember bits of conversations.

I used to sleepwalk a lot when i was a kid. That was scary. You sometimes reach this state of half conscious paranoia.

I have gotten fairly close to my mother in the last few years. My dad and I don't have the best relationship. I have 29 years of history with these people, so it would take a while for me to explain why My mother is a very lovely woman. She has worked most of her life in the child protective services. I am very proud of her for that. She's quite the athlete, too.

My grandparents had a collie that were born the year after me and my parents had two vorsterhunds when I was a little older that I took up and down the mountains and that I considered to be mine. I am not really suited to take care of a living creature and I have developed an allergy to dogs, so no pets atm or in the foreseeable future

Ha! If this was BtVS, I would say all of them. I'd love to hang with Cordelia and Harmony. I could get drunk and philosophical with sad-Spike. Gunn seems all right. I think I would find Fred sweet but boring. I woudn't have much to say to Angel or Wesley.

A couple of years ago I used to party all the time. Then I started working all the time. At the moment, I don't seem to do much of anything. The socialising I have done lately have mostly been of the quiet kind. I had a proper night out when I went to see Gorillaz, though.

I tend to get my essentials at H&M and most of my jeans are from Carlings, and I get the rest from wherever. I never been able to afford to shop very often. I am usually able to find some nice vintage shops when I am in the UK. Those are fun to shop at.

Occasionally, I am callous and strange.

Gah - all the good questions have already been asked! Hmmm...
Mexican or Italian food?
Chipotle or Taco Bell?
Would you visit any famous ruins? If so, which ones?
Cruise to Hawaii or Alaska?
Denali or Yellowstone?
Are you a Poe fan?

All these food questions I usually keep a very boring diet. I don't think I have ever been to a Mexican themed restaurant but making tacos is very popular in Norway. I have no idea. Both tickle the tongue and fill the belly.

Yes! I think I know his poems quite well, and I like the Telltale Heart. I haven't read any of his other stories, though. My old teacher hated him, said he wrote gibberish for angsty teens. I wrote this long piece on a online seminar where I accused my teacher of being old and boring. I think he was quite impressed by that. Also, on my oral exam that year, I made some daring connections between some of Thoreau's writing and that Poe poem with the weird name - Unnanameh? Ullalameh? Old man misses his girl, looks at the moon and remembers he is dead
